Flu shots

I know that pregnant women are supposed to get flu shots. We're not planning on ditching BC until December and, even then, not actively TTC for a few months.
I'm not a big proponent of flu shots but what are your thoughts about the shot while TTC?

I work at a hospital and they say it is definitely in your best interest to get a flu shot. It may not protect you 100% because it can't cover every flu strain out there, but I figure it's better to be safe than sorry! I'd rather decrease my odds of getting the flu than take my chances!

Thanks Sunny! I had a bad reaction to the shot a few years ago and swore never to get another. But now that we're thinking about TTC i need to realize that it's not just about me. A few days of being uncomfortable for a lifetime of hapiness doesnt sound too bad. :)
